About Kristen D.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not available to have pets stay with me but am happy to take care of yours in your home. We can arrange specifics and your preferences as to what that may look like.

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

I am very open to working with a variety of special needs. It helps to have more specifics than less so I kindly ask that you communicate any information you may think is relevant.

A typical day

Believing each dog is unique, I am highly adaptable to engaging with various dog breeds, ages, behaviors, and physical limitations. I enjoy being outside, exercising, and stimulating not only a dogs physical energy but mental as well.

Active & Experienced Doggy Lover!!!

Pet care experience

I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for dogs, having had my own for my entire life or having lived with others, caring for family/friends as well. I love the outdoors and walking and/or hiking on trails! From large breeds to small, dogs being human/animal lovers to or perhaps they want nothing to do with most humans/animals, I have worked with all varieties. I understand dog language and that they all have different quirks and behavioral traits. I am confident I can work with yours and bring joy to their lives.

Kristen is an exceptional dog sitter- responsible, thoughtful, and deeply trustworthy. She cared for my dogs several times while I traveled to Japan, and every time I was amazed by her presence and genuine care. I always had complete peace of mind. When I return, my dogs are happy, calm, and even more confident than before. Her natural connection with dogs, combined with her logical thinking and medical knowledge, makes her truly special. We are incredibly grateful to know her. 🐾💛

Kristen has cared for my pets both for stopping in and overnight stays. She is a truly caring and thoughtful individual who can follow detailed directions for pets with special needs. Although my dogs have not needed long walks or abundance of exercise, I know Kristen is very active and an avid hiker if you need more intensity. As a dog mom very attached to my senior babies, It’s such a relief to leave my pets in such caring hands knowing she is capable to handle what ever may arise while I’m away. She’s helped me navigate a few challenges while I was out of the state taking pets to the emergency and communicating very well every step of the way. Don’t hesitate to book with Kristen!

Kristen always is amazing with my labradors. She’s reliable, caring and attentive to their needs. I’m completely at ease when they are in her care!
